Mk 7:35a ... And 'immediately' was opened of-him the hearing, ...

Verse 35 has 3 phrases and 16 narrator words. The 1st phrase has these 6 words ... Kai eutheōs ēnoigēsan autou hai akoai (And 'immediately' was opened of-him the hearing, ...).

The 6 narrator words are top down. The word "immediately" (eutheōs) is a cue to use the previous diagram as a template. The Greek plural noun ai akoai actualy means "the faculty of hearing" not "ears." Ears do not exist on the Deaf-mute's face, therefore "spiritual hearing" is understood as if the man had heard the command effatha (Be opened up)! The top two green equilateral triangles drop down as parallelograms to hold down the two halves of the 'Unclean Spirit' cast to the sides of the graph. The word "autou" (of him) is tangent to the former deaf-mute, not to his tongue, which has dropped back into his mouth.
